Beta plus/beta minus (β+ / β-) antiparticles

Experiment no.: 10.3.1
Antiteilchen Beta-Plus / Beta-Minus (β+ / β-)
Electrons and positrons from beta decay of radioactive nuclei can be distinguished by their deflection towards a detector by the magnet field of a horseshoe magnet with the appropriate field direction.

Caution: Radioactive radiation!
Use the source only for short time, otherwise shield the source and keep distance!!
